Health Hazard

A) Operating Lamps WARNING: This lamp emits ultraviolet (UV) power during operation. Certain medications and chemicals can increase an individual's sensitivity to UV. Consult your physician for specific information. Protective eyewear should be worn in occupational situations involving long-term exposure in close proximity to the lamps. Lamp model "F6T5/BL350" is RG-1, all other models are RG-2 per ANSI/IESNA RP-27.3-96. B) Lamp Materials THERE ARE NO KNOWN HEALTH HAZARDS FORM EXPOSURE TO LAMPS THAT ARE INTACT. No adverse effects are expected from occasional exposure to broken lamps. As a matter of good practice, avoid prolonged or frequent exposure to broken lamps unless there is adequate ventilation. The major hazard from broken lamps is the possibility of sustaining glass cuts. Mercury – contact, inhalation or ingestion may cause one or more of the following symptoms: eye irritation, skin irritation, cough, chest pain, dyspnea, bronchitis, pneumonitis, tremor, insomnia, irritability, indecision, headache, fatigue, weakness, stomatitis, salivation, GI tract disturbance, anorexia, weight loss and proteinuria.

SLI recommends that all mercury-containing lamps be recycled. If lamps are broken, ventilate area where breakage occurred. Clean-up with mercury vacuum cleaner or other suitable means that avoids dust and mercury vapor generation. Take usual precautions for collection of broken glass. Clean-up requires special care due to mercury droplet proliferation. Place materials in closed containers to avoid generating dust. VIII. SPECIAL HANDLING INFORMATION FOR BROKEN LAMPS

Ventilation: Use adequate general and local exhaust ventilation to maintain exposure levels below the PEL or TLV limits. If such ventilation is unavailable, use respirators as specified below. Respiratory Protection: Use appropriate approved respirator if airborne dust concentrations exceed the pertinent PEL or TLV limits. Eye Protection: Safety glasses, goggles or face shield are recommended if lamps are being broken. Protective Clothing: Cut and puncture resistant gloves are recommended for dealing with broken lamps. Hygienic Practices: After handling broken lamps, wash hands and face thoroughly before eating, smoking or handling tobacco products, applying cosmetics or using toilet facilities.
